In Signal Tap, how do you have the bus displayed on the Waveform tab? If the bus group is collapsed, you can right-click the bus group and select the hex display format, for example, and the .csv should reflect this, which I presume is what you want so you don't have to see each individual bit.
Hello,
My multi_bit signals are displaying as multi_bit only in signal tap. I can verify my waveform data by zooming in and zooming out on signal tap GUI and verified hex data. but I cant do this for a 100's of clock data. for this reason I tried exporting to .csv format . but there everything shown in single bit.
In breif
In verilog RTL : my concerned bus is : reg [255:0] km_bus;
In SignalTap Gui: I selected and added this 256 bus into my signal tap window and went for compilation. After compilation , programming and after met trigger condition, my 256 bus stayed as 256 bus only. no issues here. i can see my hex data directly and verified.
In .csv exported file: I see km_bus[0],km_bus[1],km_bus[2].....km_bus[255] mentioned column wise in different excel cells.
Irrelevant to this post. but i want to mention here. I exported .vcd file and converted to .wlf file with modelsim and read by modelsim. In vsim wavewindow all bus bits are collapsed(bit blasted). Its really difficult to combine those and look for hex data. And in Excel i dont know how to merge cells to get hex data.

Sorry for the delay in response. Do you able to solve this issue by yourself?
Do you need further help on this?Perhaps you can try to combine data using the CONCAT function in the excel, to get the hex data.
1. Select the cell where you want to put the combined data.
2. Type =CONCAT(.
3. Select the cells you want to combine. An example might be =CONCAT(A2:A10).
